Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Good (CGC 4.0) to Very Good/Fine (CGC 5.0)
Condition Details
Heavy wavy rippling/water damage or severe storage warping across the center of the cover, moderate corner blunting, potential color breaks along the spine area obscured by the ripple glare.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $3 to $8 due to condition issues.
Recent Sales
Copies in higher grades (VF/NM to NM) typically sell in the $15 to $30 range, but damaged or heavily warped copies trade at the lower end or as part of dollar bins.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS) due to the heavy cover warping and condition issues; the grading cost would far exceed the market value of the book.
Notable Features
Iconic painted artwork by Simon Bisley defining Lobo's definitive 90s aesthetic. Direct edition with DC bullet logo box containing price details.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic with standard 1990s DC paper stock, ink registration, and trade dress consistent with the era, though affected by severe moisture or storage pressure damage.
